Upload Feedback Thread - post here if your uploads keep getting deleted

There is no process, or rather, every Approver does it their own way. Front of the queue, back of the queue, no queue (approve on search terms and tags instead), accidental skip while seeing hundreds of pending posts. Sometimes I keep the thoughts of the days when I needed posts approved in mind, with all of the satisfactions and frustrations of it (it still lingers in my old appeals, forum posts and some comments, even). It's a very human process so things like this happening aren't that uncommon.

I've approved that one for today but this topic should be kept for deleted posts, not pending ones. That one wasn't even up for 12 hours.

I can't comment on the quality because I don't like looking at genitalia but having a high score doesn't mean quality on its own.

I think a lot of these aren't good enough in terms of quality, mostly due to anatomy issues or poor colouring/shading.

For the first two, I'm not a fan of the faces. Faces tend to be a big sticking point for a lot of approvers because that's usually where the eye is drawn to first.

Furry posts aren't particularly high quality. Gura post I'm put off by the face.

A couple do every so often. I need to do this more often tbh.

I don't particularly like the first one much but for the second one I like it. Simple doesn't always mean bad, hence why this was approved and why I would approve it if I happened to be the one to see it in queue.

Shading feels all over the place whilst the proportions/angle don't look particularly great to me.

I can't comment on the quality because it's rating:e but don't listen to the person replying to you. They aren't an approver and therefore can't reliably be trusted with what is deemed as high quality. Comics can be fine but risky to upload. Again I won't look at it for personal preference so I can't tell you if it's good or not sadly.

I can reliably trusted to a certain extent, I have some experience with get good fan art work uploaded

Though this one is still pending approval : post #10884784 . I still have the question that sometimes my posts are quickly got approved. Others have to waited for hours or even days to be approved,sometime even got deleted despite their quality not really that poor to begin with. I would like to know the process and what kind of illustrations are more prone to be deemed “Not good enough” for the approvers,as some of the illustrations still got some upvotes or had a high resolution.

Some rules (from my observations):
- It's easier to get a boring brick wall approved than a perfectly drawn sexy body. ;-)
- Stick figures are more likely to get approved than a well formed body.

The line of quality is arbitrary but there are some things a collective would say is bad and other things most would agree is good.

Some approvers, including for a large part myself, approve a wide variety of things even if it's not something they'd upload themselves, whereas others have their certain niches. From the little experience I do have with it, rating:e stuff might get passed on more than other types of content, as well as long comics on occasion.

It is arbitrary i agree but there seem to be times where approvers aren't trying to make a high quality art board for the general public and more so one for themselves which i feel like is somewhat supported by your own comments on the forum.

post #10523362 - Personally not a fan of styles like this so can't comment other than with that.

post #10842899 - Upvotes and favs don't mean approvability.

Also just want to acknowledge that you have literally no obligation to approve any amount of art at all and that this isn't meant to rag on you, just to offer a little insight as to why people find uploading here frustrating. From what i can tell you do frequently try to help people get their art approved/tell them why it wasn't, which is super helpful

Posts are looked at independently. I approved post #10807260 but I would be careful about using the posts of uploader of the post you compared this to as any quality metric, a lot of their posts are low quality.

I'm not a fan of toon (style) and don't really think a lot of it belongs on the site. Those are hard to get approved.

And what do you think about the ones I recently posted on the forum?

I appreciate the feedback +help tremendously and will heed your warning with Toon styled post and CornflowerBlue going forward.

textless_version status:active parent:deleted
textless_version status:deleted child:active

This still doesn't make sense to me.
Is presence of text really a deciding factor on whether a post should be active?

It isn't, but there might be other reasons for that such as that one was uploaded by a Contributor, the post was missed or it's not really that good quality enough to get deleted, but no one thinks the active ones are low quality enough to get flagged. Some of the few if only times text is considered is if it blocks the image significantly (post #8143759) or it's hard-translated.
